This recipe didn’t come out at all like frosting (the picture is actually the finished product), but not all is lost. I learned a valuable lesson while making it: if something sounds like it’s just not going to work, and in fact, you know in your gut that it won’t, don’t make it! Looking at this recipe I had no idea how just a bunch of chocolate whipping cream with a touch of syrup was going to thicken up. I still don’t, because it didn’t. And that chocolate cream sat in my fridge for a week, and it still didn’t thicken up, so chances are it never will. This I made to go with Martha’s Moist Devil’s Food Cake (in fact, it’s the recipe Martha suggests to use on her own site,) I made for my daughter’s birthday. After whipping up a different chocolate frosting, cake was done, and lesson was learned.
